A quick question from me friends, what is the difference between civilization, modernization and globalization??, I have been pondering so much on this topic for over 24 hours, thinking of the differences between these three terms and after hitting so many dead ends, I have decided to leave this question to the geniuses in the community…
After delegating on this topic for hours, I eventually discovered what these three different terms; civilization, globalization and modernization have in common, and what is this thing they all have in common? it is CHANGE, each and every one of this term is focusing on the advancement, improvement and development of something which still falls under the word change, and that is how I came to a conclusion that these three words are bounded by one single thread called change…
Without wasting too much time on the similarities between the word modernization, globalization and civilization, I will be focusing mainly on what I have for you all today, CIVILIZATION…
THE PROS AND CONS OF CIVILIZATION
It is indeed a fact that civilization has in one way or another brought about both positive changes and negative changes in our cultures and societies at large…
And it will also be a big felony if we are to only acknowledge the positive impacts of this so-called civilization, and not including the negative impacts and vice versa…
As my social studies teacher would say in class, there is no civilization without culture, one of the advantages of civilization is the advancement and improvement of dressings, arts and crafts and social skills, civilization has really helped us in numerous ways and it has also damage us in so many ways…
Focusing on the positive impact of civilization in the health/medical sector, years ago before civilization took over the world, we had nothing like BP monitor, stethoscope, defibrillator, sterilizer, EKG/ECG machines, anesthesia machines or patient monitors but now that civilization has taken over the modern world, these equipments have been made readily available and it has been contributing greatly to the medical field. We have civilization to thank for this…
In the educational field, we had nothing like marker boards, chalk boards, laboratory equipments, apparatus and a laboratory itself, learning was so difficult before civilization took over the world, but now we have all these things readily available to us and it has been contributing greatly to the educational system of the country…
Civilization has really improved our lives in so many ways, another aspect of its importance is in our transportation and communication system, thanks to civilization we now have what we call white collar jobs, these things are greatly appreciated…
And lastly, when we talk about the importance of civilization in the life of men, a lot of things has been added to our lifestyle since civilization took shape of the world, we had a way of dressing before civilization came and took shape of it, we had a way of doing things before civilization came and now that it has taken deep roots, everything has changed for both good and bad…
One thing I am grateful for about civilization is the fact that since it came to take over the world, the health and educational sector have been greatly impacted, the contribution of civilization in this areas is known by many, it has really helped us improve a lot in those two fields but when it comes to our way of life, civilization has brought about a total negative change in our way of life…
Civilization has ruined the decent dressing we once had in the past, civilization has ruined the values and cultures of our society, what was considered a shameful act in those times are now seen as fashion in this era…
Years ago when our parents want to serve their parents their meals or greet them, they either kneel while doing so or at least bend while serving them their meals, The females offsprings kneel and male offsprings prostrate to greet their parents at all times but since civilization took over the world, these norms has been neglected and overlooked, some child in this era are even ready to give their parents a handshake every morning to greet them, while some can’t even kneel or prostrate properly to greet or serve meals to their parents, civilization is to be blamed for this…
Thanks to this so called civilization, underwear and cover clothing are not so much important again to our female species, sagging is now a decent way of dressing to our male species, something that was made compulsory for our parents to wear in the past has now turned to something of a choice in this era thanks to this so called civilization, it is okay to wear your clothing without underwear’s under the four walls of your house but going outside your house, it is a must to be in it, but now the youth of now adays see it as a headache thanks to civilization, this is speaking poorly of the morals, values and upbringings imbibed in us by our parents and most of this is either as a result of peer pressure or the feeling of wanting to belong and who do we have to blame for this?, MR civilization…
In summary, I don’t think anything can be done to help straighten things again, civilization has changed everything about the world, it is only left to our parents to imbibe in us the values and upbringing they want us to teach to our own Offsprings…
In conclusion, things have been left bad for too long and now it is literally looking impossible to set things straight again, all we can do now is to pray and do the right thing and not blindly following the trend and civilization at large…
